capital from the perspective of various characters. For example there's the collegiate
assessor whose nose one day detaches itself from his face and goes on to become a state
councillor ('The Nose') the painter and lieutenant whose romantic pursuits have very different
degrees of success ('Nevsky Prospect') and the lowly civil servant whose life falls apart when
he loses his prized new coat ('The Overcoat'). In addition to 'The Diary of a Madman' these
Petersburg Tales paint a critical yet hilarious portrait of a city rife with pomposity and
self-importance. They skillfully juxtapose nineteenth-century realism with madcap surrealism
and combine absurdist farce with biting satire. Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol was a Russian
novelist short story writer and playwright of Ukrainian origin.
